    unmountable boot volume


    hi guys, Im having a problem with my acer aspire notebook. Im running windows 7 home basic. The laptop was working fine yesterday but when I started it this morning i got the unmountable boot volume bsod. Ive been reading these forums for hours now and nothing is working. I cant boot up in safe mood, cant boot up with command prompt. When i select the repair windows options the repairs screen comes up but then immdiately restarts the pc. Ive tried booting from my repair disk but its been hanging on the "setup is starting" screen for hours now. Has anyone got any idea what the problem is?

    Can you go into the BIOS to see if you can run any tests on that hard drive? See if it'll report the SMART status of the drive, and maybe do a quick test if one is available.

    Do you have your personal data backed up to a safe place?
